National Pain Week: Shining a Light on Invisible Pain 🌟
1 in 5 Australians live with chronic pain and many of them do so in silence. This week is about raising awareness, reducing stigma, and listening to the stories of those living with persistent pain.
Pain isn’t always visible. It can affect how people think, feel, move, sleep, work, and connect with others. It’s not just physical, it’s emotional, mental, and social.
💬 What can we all do?
✔️ Believe people when they say they’re in pain
✔️ Advocate for person-centred care
✔️ Check in with a friend who may be struggling
✔️ Learn more about the lived experience of pain
Let’s build a more compassionate and pain-aware community 💙
